You're hurting yourself greatly by not using Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile, add those 100%

And maybe add a Phyrexian Arena for draw.

#

I'd also add a Swiftfoot Boots. Obviously Lightning Greaves is better, but you want to use both just incase you don't get the other

#

And some more haste enablers would be good so Kaalia can swing right away, things like Mass Hysteria or Rising of the Day

#

If you can fit it in your budget, Grand Abolisher, Silence, and Cavern of Souls are all good to make Kaalia uncounterable

#

I think I might just run proxies, as A: my game store is currently completely out of stock
B: my broke ass ain't paying for shipping
and C: I'm already running a few proxies (zodiac dragon)

#

i would cut some of the generic stat sticks like demon of death's gate

#

and zodiac dragon, but i get the feeling that's in here as a pet card

#

dazzling angel also seems unimpressive

#

there's some situational/inflexible removal like lightning helix, ob's cruelty, terminate

proper valve
#

Lightning Helix is still commander playable I'd say

#

It's no Lightning Bolt but it certainly works

low badger
#

unless you have specific synergy with spell slinging, dealing noncombat damage, or life gain i'd say it's not worth the slot

#

i wouldn't run bolt either

#

generally speaking you want your removal to be able to hit multiple target types, exile, instant speed, and cheap, roughly in that order of priority

proper valve
#

Right

#

I only agree with not running lightning bolt since this is a mardu deck

#

White and Black have significantly better removal

low badger
#

path and swords are the standards for single creature removal because they exile at instant speed and are about as cheap as it gets

proper valve
#

I guess it's also meta dependent, Bolt is good where I play where I'm used to Ragavan and Sentinels T1

low badger
#

i would just run something like fatal push at that point

#

and ragavan is pretty non threatening in commander imo

proper valve
#

Heartwarming Redemption and Martial Glory can definitely be cut

#

And Boros Keyrune

low badger
#

i think master warcraft is a funny card, but feels expensive for what this deck is trying to do

#

i guess it's a finisher because you can force someone to declare no blocks

proper valve
#

Parhelion also seems a bit random

low badger
#

was also looking at that

#

i think op was going for an angel subtheme, but it's kinda w/e here

#

don't like spark harvest either

proper valve
#

So many fetchable lands with no fetches FeelsBad

low badger
#

yeah at this budget might as well go fetches and surveils

#

decree of justice is a good card but feels a little random

proper valve
#

I second a Surveil, boros one would probably be best

#

And I'd complete the shock land cycle

low badger
#

probably want to swap some basics for mdfc lands

#

also missing a bojuka bog

#

but pretty easy to add fell the profane, witch enchanter, sundering eruption, maybe shatterskull

#

glasswing grace is also a kinda a free slot to get some extra life gain

#

oh lol there's a budget fetch in here

#

funny to see a $600 card and then 70c rocky tar pit
